Aim is to understand
That oil consumption data shows below details
Cure Oil, refined oil imports and Exports by country also
weighted by population
Reserves left by country and by region
Consumption by population over the time

Really??? Is it easy to get the picture?

What is Tableau
Tableau is a BI software
Great visualizations: Allows anyone to connect to data,
visualize and create interactive, sharable dashboards in a few
clicks
Ease of use: It's easy enough that any Excel user can learn it,
but powerful enough to satisfy even the most complex
analytical problems.
Fast: We can create parallelized dashboards, quick filters and
calculations
